HP has revealed the Pavilion Desktop TP01-0006ng and Desktop M01-F0017ng -- both of which seemingly use AMD's upcoming B550 chipset. The listings also include the first mention we've seen of a new AMD gaming graphics card, the AMD Radeon RX 5300 XT.

The only information that HP provided about the Radeon RX 5300 XT is that it will supposedly feature 4GB of GDDR5 memory. There were talks that AMD was working on smaller Navi silicon, Navi 12 and Navi 14. However, we've never seen any mentions of a Radeon RX 5300 series until today. It's also impossible to tell if the Radeon RX 5300 series will be based on the Navi microarchitecture. Given the choice of GDDR5 memory, the Radeon RX 5300 series seems closer to another Polaris rebrand. However, this wouldn't match earlier Radeon RX 5000-series lines. We're more inclined to think that the Radeon RX 5300 series is indeed low-end Navi, but only time will tell.

AMD is preparing lower-end variants of its NAVI GPUs based on new RDNA graphics card architecture, which will replace all the existing cards based on aging GCN architecture. Today, AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 5500, as it is called, got benchmarked in GFXBench - a cross-platform benchmark which features various kinds of test for Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android.

The benchmark was run on Windows OS using OpenGL API. It only ran the "Manhattan" high-level test, which yielded a result of 5430 frames in total or about 87.6 frames per second. When compared to something like RX 5700 XT, which scored 8905 frames in total and 143.6 FPS, RX 5500 clearly seems positioned at the lower end of NAVI GPU stack. Despite the lack of details, we can expect this card to compete against NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1660/1660 Ti GPUs where AMD has no competing offer so far.
